Chapter 1422 Strategic Magic
Once cast, strategic magic cannot be hidden, and similarly, once cast, it is difficult to control.
It's like a heavy bow that's fully drawn. Being able to draw it back doesn't mean it can stay fully drawn for too long.
Alais came up to dismantle the defensive magic circle of Blackstone Fortress. As soon as the magic circle disappears, the mages who control strategic magic will cast down strategic magic.
If it really succeeds, it will indeed cause a major blow to the Blackstone Fortress. Not to mention the fortress itself, the soldiers fighting desperately on the city wall will be turned into charcoal.
But Ales's actions were discovered by Aldai, and now the two were fighting, so the mages who were holding back their strategic magic couldn't hold it back any longer.
If they continue to hold it in, the mages will be counterattacked by the uncontrollable magic power in the circle. By then, it will not be as simple as being injured. Maybe most of the magic power of strategic magic will explode in their hands.
It is extremely difficult to train a mage. It is a truly aristocratic profession, and people without money cannot do it.
Without these mages who can cast strategic magic, it will be more difficult for the Demon Kingdom of Subia to resist the invasion of Guateni and Avarus in the future.
So the mages decided not to hold it in anymore and have a good time.
The powerful magic spell was activated, and the thunder gathered in the dark clouds instantly burst out and poured down.
From a distance, it looked like a waterfall of light made of thunder, hitting the Blackstone Fortress's defensive array heavily.
The high-voltage arc penetrated the air, and everyone's hair stood on end. Clear arcs could be seen when many soldiers' armor and weapons collided.
And this is just the aftermath.
However, the defensive array of Blackstone Fortress looks like a thin layer, but in fact it is extremely strong. Exaggerated electric sparks are constantly bombarding the defensive array, but the defensive array remains motionless, but the height seems to have been reduced a little.
Therefore, strategic magic is actually not practical, and the price-performance ratio is really not good.
This is why Alyssa never engages in strategic magic. It is actually better to use this energy to charge the ion cannon.
The same amount of energy is enough for the Swan to fire a single shot from the main cannon of the Light Spear. If the Swan was really here, it would have to knock down the defensive formation of Blackstone Fortress with one shot.
Aldai and Alais were entangled on the edge of the defensive circle, and exaggerated arcs of electricity spread around them.
The electric sparks licked like tongues, making the usually invisible defensive spells around the two people appear. The colorful magic aura blocked the current and also blocked the lethal spells on both sides.
However, the white-bone vultures and giant eagles summoned by the two of them could not stop such terrifying electric sparks. Even the aftermath was enough to destroy them in an instant.
Also destroyed was Bigby's grappling palm, which was as tall as a person and could catch the lich like a claw. It was defeated by the electric current. Aldai's timing of throwing the spell was not very good, otherwise Bigby would The grappling palm can more or less entangle the lich for a while.
The lich who escaped from the clamp didn't care about the crackling of electricity at all. With a wave of his staff, two snake-like gray clouds surrounded him from left to right.
Aldai had just used Bigby's Grappling Palm, and her magic power was not enough to support her continuous use of high-level spells, so she had to control her flying spell to fall quickly to avoid the spell's attack.
Although she is the youngest high-level mage in the Demon Realm, her total magic power is not outstanding, nor is she talented in this area. If she continues to pester her, it won't be long before she starts tearing up scrolls to make up for the loss in magic power. Not enough.
The strategic magic gradually weakened and disappeared as Aldai fell. The terrifying current seemed to have never appeared. The dark clouds began to dissipate quickly, revealing the stars in the night sky.
The strategic magic did not have the desired effect, so it stands to reason that Alais should retreat.
But no, he didn't seem to care much about whether the strategic magic could work. He ignored the dissipating electric light and flew down to catch up with Aldai.
So, his goal is not just to dismantle the defensive formation of Blackstone Fortress, maybe...
Still targeting Viola?
No wonder Aldai thinks so. The first time Alais appeared in front of Viola was to kill her. Moreover, the Seven Apostles have recently begun to move again. Viola's situation is already very dangerous, and it does not seem surprising that Alais has some contact with those guys.
Thinking of this, Aldai fired a few more flame beads. At this time, a palm poked out from the air without any warning or magical aura.
That's when Li Chengqi finally couldn't help but take action.
Although he decided not to interfere too much, he would not just watch.
Li Chengqi saw that the Subia Demon Kingdom army could not break through the Black Stone Fortress, and the strategic magic would be blocked by the defensive array.
But Li Chengqi also knew that Aldai couldn't beat Alais.
So I chose this moment to take action, and hit the Lich with a big blow.
For gods, undead creatures have never been a problem. As long as the lich is close to Li Chengqi, he will be purified by his divine power.
Let’s put aside whether it can be beaten to death completely. Anyway, after this slap, the lich will have to wait for at least a week before he can be resurrected.
But when the palm of his hand was chasing the lich down, there was a sudden bang as if it hit something, and there was an invisible but tangible cover in the air, blocking Li Chengqi's divine power.
He clapped his hands a few times, but finally disappeared into the air unwillingly.
"This is a miniaturized shielding barrier. Scholars in the academic city should not underestimate it."
Aldai now knows what was sold when it was revealed some time ago that the managers of Academic City secretly used research results.
This kind of shielding barrier originally required more than ten mages to operate, and it could cover a large area and block Li Chengqi's direct interference.
After miniaturization, although the coverage area is small, it can be used by a single person. For an individual like Alais, there is nothing more suitable than this.
After all, after being beaten to powder by Li Chengqi last time, the Lich still dared to come this time, so of course he had some support.
As he spoke, he got closer and closer, so close that you could clearly see a tiny bit of organic matter in the eye sockets of his skull that had not completely rotted away.
In the view of the Lich, as long as he can temporarily block the interference of the Demon King God, he can shoot down Aldai. Without Aldai's protection, Viola faces the Lich alone, and it is difficult for her to have a chance of survival.
But what the Lich doesn't know is that Aldai now belongs to Li Chengqi's chosen one, and she has not yet used the divine power that Li Chengqi gave her.
Moreover, she had already discovered Alais's traces, and of course she had made some preparations.
At this time, the two of them flew directly under the cloud and mist spell that Aldai had just cast. It seemed that Aldai's counterattack spell would have almost no effect, and she seemed to be in a very disadvantageous situation.
However, a roar made the Lich immediately stop tracking.
--hold head high!
It was the roar of a dragon, and no creature in the world could imitate it.
The slender white dragon emerged from the clouds and mist. The lich's thermal imaging vision had no effect on the cold scales wrapped around the white dragon's body. It had been hiding here without the lich noticing it at all.
He immediately controlled his flight and retreated, narrowly avoiding the white dragon's claws. But when the lich looked up, he saw the white dragon opening its bloody mouth toward him.
The dragon's special move, breath, appears.
